Felina made our wedding vision a reality!

Choosing Felina as our wedding venue was almost as easy as saying yes when my husband proposed! When we got engaged and started looking at venues, we found Felina during an online search and immediately booked a tour. We were looking for a venue that was NOT a traditional ballroom or a farmhouse, and the moment we walked into Felina, we knew we found the perfect venue for us. From the modern, classy chandeliers, to the timeless vault door, gorgeous marble black and white floor, and all of the other beautiful elements, Felina checked off every box. Planning a wedding in 6 months without a wedding planner or outside coordinator is no small feat, and we could not have done it without Carissa, who truly lives up to her title as Felina’s “memory maker.” Not only is Carissa one of the nicest people we have ever met, she was attentive, responsive, and professional from start to finish, and executed every little detail we wanted on our wedding day above and beyond our expectations. All of the staff at Felina are so nice and professional and helped make our day so special and go seamlessly. In addition, all of the food from cocktail hour to dinner was delicious and our guests are still raving about it! The pre-wedding tasting was such a special (and delicious) experience and really got us excited for our wedding day. Everything was so fresh and it’s clear that the chef puts a lot of thought into creating a true farm to table experience. We cannot recommend Felina enough and keep saying we’d love to go to another wedding there as guests! We can’t wait to celebrate anniversaries and other special events in the future at Felina!

A stunning venue and an amazing team

Seeing Felina for the first time literally took our breath away. We had been waiting to have that special feeling of knowing we had found our venue and we had that feeling instantly with Felina. The checkered floors are stunning (we're still hearing about how much guests loved that feature), the soaring ceilings with the gorgeous light features, and of course the focal point of the vault door. It's a perfect wedding venue if you're looking for something that's a little bit unique but still incredibly classy and breathtaking. Because the venue is just so naturally stunning, you truly don't need to add too many florals or decor if that's not your vibe.

I cannot say enough about how delightful and easy and FUN it was to work with the Felina team. Our initial meeting with Carissa was outstanding! She was organized, efficient and super transparent and honest about the whole process. I felt like she could be a true partner to us throughout the whole planning process. She and her partner, Samantha, just always managed to absorb my stress after every meeting and call. They're the exact kind of people you want on your event.
Our wedding was literal magic and the Felina team was a huge part of that. They are professional and polished - they are thinking of things before the thought even forms in your brain. We felt so at ease that if we had forgotten something then their team would be on top of that. I kept waiting for something to go wrong or some kind of hiccup and it just never happened. Our bridal attendant and maitre' D kept things flowing flawlessly- we didn't have to lift a finger and actually got to have that feeling of being the guests of honor. Oh and the food? AMAZING!!! Our guests were blown away by how much and how amazing the food was at the cocktail hour - the delicious dinner was an amazing cherry on top. Felina is honestly on top of everything!
Working with wedding professionals is literally a game changer and I highly recommend it if you want the most fun and stress-free day. 
I can't say I would ever want to plan another wedding again haha; but if I had to, Felina would be a no-brainer.

Dream Venue

Felina was the only venue my husband and I toured, but we just knew it was the place for us. Growing up in North Jersey, we both knew and have been to venues all over this area. As awesome as those places are, we didn’t want the traditional ballroom, catering hall experience. I grew up just 10 minutes away from Felina, so I was surprised to come across it during my wedding venue search; I had never heard of it before, as it had only been open for about 3 years at the time we booked. We could not have made a better decision having our wedding at Felina. It is such a unique and stunning space. It made the most beautiful backdrop for our big day. Not only is the venue space stunning, the food was fantastic. Before booking, my husband and I went for dinner and were very impressed with our meals. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. Everything at cocktail hour was fantastic. Adding on the mozzarella and raw bar were great decisions as well. Another highlight was our food tasting, which was such a nice experience to share leading up to the wedding. I also cannot say enough good things about our memory-maker, Carissa. She is THE nicest, happiest, most knowledgable, just all around best person to work with. Working with Carissa was a true highlight of having our wedding at Felina. I could not recommend Felina more!
